Peter Cobb
Composer
Peter Cobb is a pianist and viola player. He is an expert composer and arranger of music for strings, both with and without piano. He has a particular interest in composing and arranging music for junior and intermediate level players. Many of his works have been written for orchestras and ensembles directed by his wife, Sian, and have received their first performances at national competition level.
I am a firm believer in the principle that even the less advanced players should be provided with interesting parts to play, not just the starry first violins.
